About The Salty Inspector
I am JD Johnson, Owner / President of The Salty Inspector home inspections. The Salty Inspector is a locally owned, independent inspection service, not an impersonal national franchise nor “large cookie cutter” operation.
We are proud of our inspection service and when selecting an inspector to assist with your home purchase, we recommend you ask two questions:
- How many inspections has the inspector performed?; and
- May I see a sample inspection report?
The Salty Inspector has personally performed and supervised over 20,000 home inspections and is happy to supply a copy of a sample report for your review. When you compare these criteria, choosing The Salty Inspector becomes the obvious choice.

JD is thorough and efficient. He worked well with me and my desire to double check things.
